Wounded And Bleeding

 

I Was Wounded!

Yes, I am wounded!

Oh!  My God!  How I hurt!

Oh yes, I've been wounded!

I'm bleeding!  Where?   Where!

In my soul!  My heart!  In my very being!

I've been wounded, but you see, I still

have to continue on in life.

What did I do to cause this?

You see, I do have to go on.

I'm dead!  But alive?

I smile, joke, but I don't feel anything.

I laugh, but I cry inside.

Where were you God?  Where?

Where were you?

Where were you my friends?

Family?  Loved Ones?   Where?  Where?

Where were you when I needed YOU?

Where are you now?  Anyone-----

Anyone, anyone of you?

Doesn't anyone care?  Hear?   Feel?  or See?

My very soul calls out to deaf ears!

Why?  God, oh, why?  Why?   Why?

They don't understand, no one does it seems.

My soul and heart are bleeding.

My heart beats, but I feel no life.

I'm Bleeding!

But no one can see, or tell that I'm bleeding!

Oh, God!  Why?  Why do I have to suffer?

I hurt when I was all alone,

when the secrets only I knew!

But now, others know, but you see

I'm still all alone and hurting.

Can anyone relate to my Pain!

It seems as if no one really cares.

No one listens!  Cares!   Feels!  Sees!

How can I go on living, but not really be alive?

My God!  I'm still bleeding!   BLEEDING!

How can I stop this bleeding"

Will I bleed and hurt forever?   I guess!

I guess!  Yes, I guess I will!

Why can't someone hear me?   Anyone!

Anyone at all!  Please help me!   Please!!

No one can answer my heart's call!

God!  My God!  My God!   I hurt!

I feel I'm so full of pain!   Anger!  Rage!

Sadness!  Despair!   Loneliness and Nothing!

And Nothing can deaden or numb my pain.

The PAIN!  It's always there!   Day and night!

The PAIN!  It's always there!   Please hear my cry!

Can you heal my wounded scars?

Will you heal my bleeding heart and soul?

I do hope so!

Oh, my God!

I do hope so!

I do hope so!

I do hope so!

A Childhood Lost!!!
